Other railway administrations do charge, GNER in the UK used to charge but removed the charge once they have recouped the investment. This is sensitivity analysis.

We have discussed this charge with Irish Rail and it looks unlikely to be long term its just a trial element and its likely impact is known. Since this is a trial it all could come to a halt in 3 months time depending on the business assessment
gNEr ? discredited and now compulsoraly defunct gNEr are not a good example to follow necessarily. Surely the Bus Operators would be a better model to use. I travelled by coach in the UK a couple of weeks ago.The ffee wifi was VERY popular.Add in the better working enviroment on a train and free wifi could be a major USP
